Hike AT VA for ALZ
After fighting the good fight, my Dad succumbed to Alzheimer's on April 1, 2026. This disease will touch everyone and take a toll on families like ours. But there's good news — science is doing something about it — there's hope. On June 20, 2026, we will meet at the Humpback Rocks Visitor Center (MP 5.8 on the Blue Ridge Parkway near Charlottesville VA) at 7:45 AM. Teams and hikers can choose from various distances, including a gentle one mile out and back to the trailhead, a more strenuous four mile climb/loop to Humpback Rocks and back to the Visitors Center, and the full 11-mile hike to Three Ridges Overlook at MP 13.1. We’ll hit the trail together by 8:00 AM and plan to gather back together in Charlottesville at 6:00 PM for an après-hike celebration with family, friends, and supporters. More details on location to come as the hike nears.
Thank you to all our supporters
